"My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth.

My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth.

When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God:

"Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth."

― John Piper, Finally Alive
